This week's mini read was thrown using the Illuminated Earth Oracle Deck. The first card out in our spread is the "Multiverse" card and it's asking you to focus on really expanding your consciousness. Don't limit yourself to the 5 senses of humanity, but start changing the way you acknowledge/ perceive things. Look at things from alternative viewpoints, really begin trusting your intuition and let it guide you on your path. Challenge yourself to drop labels and constructs because every time you put yourself "inside a box" you are putting confines and limits on yourself. Spend time understanding just how interconnected things are and how the fabric of this Universe is interwoven into everything. You are infinite energy, you cannot be contained! We are nothing and everything all at once. What does that statement mean to you? What is your innerstanding of that statement? Let yourself truly expand as you consider what it means for you.
Next, we move into the "Cosmo's" card. In this deck this card represents the fifth element (ether or spirit) and is also referred to as a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms. This card ties in beautifully with the last card as it's here to show us that our energy exists and is present in other realms. When we truly innerstand how limitless we are and how powerful our energy truly is, we harness our power and knowledge to understand how we move amongst the realms. This card brings a message for you when it appears, that you have come to really understand your higher purpose. You understand the laws of the Universe and are mastering applying them in all areas of your life. You realize the true power of choice and "free will" and have moved past a space of reactive decision making, realizing that you balance the scales in your own life.
The understanding you have gained, transitions us into our next card, the "Evolution" card. You truly get that things are always changing and evolving...that there is no "final destination", but instead that you are always learning, always growing, and always expanding. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed or transformed. You are allowing your conscious energy to be transformed with every piece of wisdom and knowledge that you gain. You are able to detach your emotions and just see things as they are from your seat as the observer.
You now understand the importance of pausing along your path, which brings us to the "Reflection" card in our spread. This card reminds us to take a step back at times and look at everything around us, not only to, see how far we've come, but also asks us what "expectations" are we still holding that's not allowing us to take the next step. Are there parts of yourself that still need to be acknowledged or need healed? You can't run from pieces of yourself. Every version of yourself, no matter the emotions you've attached to them, ALL served an important lesson and have shaped and transformed you into who you are in this present moment. Sit with yourself and show honor and gratitude to ALL the pieces of yourself, because you will never feel "whole" or "complete", as long as, you continue to bury or silence parts of yourself.
It's only in these moments when we take raw inventory in our lives that we allow for more to be revealed to us, which leads us into the "Epiphany" card in our spread. When you stop looking at yourself as being broken or damaged and stop defining yourself based on traumas, you transition yourself out of a victim mentality. You make room for answers to all those questions you've held deep within to start coming out. The revelations, "ah-ha-moments" or "connecting-of-dots", brings such a sense of empowerment. You gain wisdom, knowledge, and insight into the inner workings of who you really are and truly see how it reflects out into the reality you're currently experiencing.
The final card in our spread for this week is the "Reincarnation" card. It is all about the opportunity to be reborn through many lifetimes and how that all connects into the current version of self. However, this card calls on us to bring our awareness to the present manifestation of our life and really focus on the lessons we are here to learn THIS time. The lessons woven in our web of fate, may be similar to the lessons of others, but our power to choose transforms those lessons of fate into our destiny. Which leads us to our truest and most authentic self and is incorporated into our larger ever-expanding blueprint here on Earth. Who you truly are can never be replicated by anyone else!
This week I challenge you to sit with yourself. Ask yourself a question, but do this without opening your mouth or making a sound. Pick any Question! You heard that voice in your head when you asked "your" question...but now ask yourself, where did that voice come from? Allow yourself to really let your mind expand as you explore the voice of your higher-self. Don't set any expectations, just allow your mind and the answers that come to unfold naturally.
